	abstract = {<p>This paper constitutes a comparison of ceramic vessel types from 21 site collections representing different geographic clusters and taxonomic divisions of the Wendat (Huron) between the 15th and 17th centuries. Since these data were derived from previously published reports, the analysis necessarily involved the use of ceramic types rather than attributes. This proved expedient because it clarified the varying degree of foreign (non-Wendat) ware of which each collection was comprised. The observation that as much as a quarter to a half of the vessels of some collections were foreign, indicated that traditional comparisons of total site samples would tend to obscure local relationships. By focusing solely on Wendat ceramics, it was possible to identify homogeneity in the ceramic decoration of the 15th and 16th centuries that, with the addition of historical documentary and further archaeological evidence, is argued to reveal sub-group mobility between settlements, a situation that was apparently not perpetuated into the 17th century.</p>},
